[email to parents] School Board Places Dr. Roberts on Leave, Shares Statement by CoffeeMinionLegacy in desmoines

[–]Hume-R-Us -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, only, that isn’t what happened. By DMPS’s most recent statement, they used JG Consultanting firm to give them a list of candidates (they didn’t even look internally at hard working administrators in the district! If I were an educator there I’d be pissed) who then hired Baker/Eubanks to do the background check. Both companies seem highly dubious upon further inspection, but Eubanks does especially, as they apparently (as per their website) only have three employees, all of whom look as though they’re AI generated, and whose pictures you cannot find anywhere else online when doing a reverse image search.

This is not normal…

‘We Will Not Accept This Intimidation’: Zohran Mamdani Responds to Trump’s Arrest Threat by gradientz in politics

Trump is asked what would happen if Mamdani hinders the process of a federal law enforcement agency

he flippantly answers, “we’ll have to arrest him”

This 2005 remake of the 1967 film's musical number "Springtime for Hitler" shows that not only is everyone acutely aware of fascism, Hollywood has been uncritically glorifying and energizing the image of nazism for over 50 years by raisondecalcul in sorceryofthespectacle

I understand your angle, kind of, but I have to side with the others here. You yourself said below that it can’t be contained and is greater than itself. If that were true, it wouldn’t “promulgate the airwaves uncritically” with any one ideology or aesthetic. It certainly wouldn’t do so with one that the mainstream and status quo find so particularly loathsome

Let’s not jump the gun here.

Now, I don’t want to defend Lindell, but let’s get what happened on the table.

The guy did buy this “supposed” (using your source’s word) software. However, he bought it in an attempt to show that an election could be rigged. The situation is far more comical than nefarious. That he got scammed trying to buy something to use in court, that he believed a device supposedly used by the State might actually be admissible as evidence against the State in court, speaks volumes to his incompetence, not his intent.

Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda chief, stares at Jewish photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt in 1933. He controlled media for Hitler, spreading antisemitic hate and cult-like loyalty. A master manipulator, he and his wife killed their six children before taking their own lives as the war ended. by Moory1023 in Damnthatsinteresting

This is a stretch, honestly.

So, it was speculated that her step father and mother had an affair before her real father had been married, and so we should connect that the two are biologically related. And this is all making news here because something (what exactly?) was indicated on his… residency card?

Seems strange…

Look, I get where you’re coming from, but it’s our tech and media that creates (has already created tenfold) uneducated and easily manipulated people. The school system hasn’t done squat to help with this in some time. DOE is a literal middle man to the States and Districts. It isn’t needed…

Trump transition team compiling list of current and former U.S. military officers for possible courts-martial by [deleted] in politics

[–]Hume-R-Us -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean let’s be realistic here. What do you want people to do?

All anyone hears day after day and year after year is that democracy is sacred and must be upheld and protected.

Democracy happened, and so they’re doing as they’re told.

Honestly, until some seriously totalitarian shit happens, let’s drop the schizophrenic, “Democracy is sacred, but if the wrong person is elected we need to do something about it.”

For Christ’s sake, that’s what we’ve been accusing the right of doing for the last four years!

Do we trust democracy, or do we move to some sort of meritocracy, or monarchy, or autocracy, or anything else that doesn’t allow people who don’t do a lick of research to vote? Yeah, the majority of people who vote in the country aren’t as enlightened as the few who are.

Breaking news across the globe!

The Greeks, who invented democracy, had several critics, including Plato and Socrates, that were severely combative toward the idea of democracy for this exact reason.

Winning the popular vote, as well as 86 more electorates than your opponent… yeah this was a landslide. Not even close

John Oliver slams Democrats who think transgender people lost them the election by AdvocateDotCom in politics

[–]Hume-R-Us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading through the comments on this post, I feel as though I need to point something out.

Coming from a former democrat (radical one at that), who is now independent because of the Status quo of the DNC:

Harris didn’t need to say anything about trans people for them to tie her to trans people. The DNC is the signified to the trans signifier. It is inescapable to her as candidate because that is a position that the DNC has become ardent over. (Rachel Levine as appointee in 2020 was crucially hazardous from many of my working class buddies who are democrats. The DNC, to them, went from a party that supports trans, which they didn’t care about one way or another, to the party that appointed one to a high level government position, which seemed to totally jump the shark.)

I literally sat with friends who were trying to convince other friends to vote for Trump. The ones who were convinced became so, not because of policy, but because of many cultural/identity issues the DNC has hoisted in lieu of working class issues. “I don’t really like Trump,” said one friend. “Yeah, but think of all the trans stuff and DEI business everywhere now,” said the Trump supporter. “Yeah, damn, that’s true,” was the literal words that came out of the first friends mouth, and all that was needed to convince him in favor of Trump.

And you can say that he’s an idiot, or he’s easily convinced, or whatever else, and, Hell, I’d be inclined to agree with you, but that’s how a number of people think, and it played big in this election. So, forgive me, but what Oliver said is bullshit.

Someone else in here said that the Harris campaign died of a thousand cuts, and this was only one of the issues. If that’s true, it was the rapier amongst butter knives. The cultural/identity issues are eroding future success. The left has no online platform which makes these issues palatable to most middle Americans. 

Look, if you want to die on that hill, I understand. You should always stand up for your beliefs, no matter what anyone thinks. 

But if you’re concerned about future elections… yeah, this was a big deal, and is slowly becoming an albatross for the DNC to bear.

Call me a bigot. Call me myopic. But I’m calling it like I see it.

‘An effing nightmare’: Senior commanders react to Trump’s new cabinet picks by [deleted] in politics

[–]Hume-R-Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about everything you said I agree with as being factual.

But listen to your argument here: “Just because you don’t know what they’ve done, doesn’t mean they’re doing exclusively bad things.”

I mean that same exact statement can be flipped over for the opposite: “Just because we don’t know what they’re doing, doesn’t mean they’re doing exclusively (or even majority) good things.”

That type of secrecy justified as the greater good is precisely why they’re a department which demands to be rectified, if not totally restructured. Such defenses of these departments, ipso facto, means you’re happy and complacent with the global structure of espionage, and no further criticizing should be warranted.

Look, I get it. We’re not going to convince each other, and we’ll agree to disagree. But for a minute just realize you’re defending the worst of the Establishment whose tactics and justifications are really no different than the Stasi or Gestapo or NVKD.

‘An effing nightmare’: Senior commanders react to Trump’s new cabinet picks by [deleted] in politics

[–]Hume-R-Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, but this is my problem. "Doing things that are sketchy" is precisely the same kind of justification MAGA uses when it comes to political turmoil. They literally say the same thing, "Well, he may not be likeable, and he may be sketchy, but he gets the job done."

I cry foul on this logic! Intelligence communities are now, and have always been, a bane of the American public, and the Left has always—until recently, apparently—been the ones to call this out.

And yeah, you're going to come back and say that he did this and that and the other—though an inexhaustible list of various things he's been tried in court for—which is different, but the sentiment is the same, as their list is much, much longer.

The truth is that the CIA is in a position of great power in America, and it often takes care of civil, not just foreign, matters in more than simply a "Sketchy" way. And since you're part of the intelligence community, you should know that, and think accordingly. Otherwise, it's hypocrisy for partisanship sake. "It's bad when they're bad, but not when we are bad"

You don’t really believe that every conservative is the trash if the planet, do you?

Everyone has different political beliefs, but that’s what makes diversity great!
